Question

John can jog 3,000 yards in 15 minutes. Id she jogs at thw same rate, how many feet can she jog in 6 minutes

Answer 1

3,000 y / 15 m
9,000 f / 15 m

X f / 6 m = 9,000 f / 15 m

Cross multiply

3,600 feet

Answer 2

You can use a unit rate.

(3000 yd)/(15 minutes) = 200 yd/minute

Now multiply the unit rate by 6 minutes.

200 yd/minute * 6 minutes = 1200 yd

The question asks for feet, so we convert the answer to feet using 1 yd = 3 ft.

1200 yd * (3 ft)/yd = 3600 ft

Answer: 3600 ft
